And he then got elected on the fourth vote: Francis' final surprise for the church.
"Piqué and O’Connell claim that it was ultimately Francis’ shaping of the College of Cardinals that led to Leo’s election. 'Francis could not choose his successor, but he created the conditions that made Leo’s election possible,' the authors wrote. 'It was his last surprise.'”
Money may buy a lot, but it cannot buy everything.

"An unnamed source 'in contact with the cardinals' told Piqué that 'Trump dressed as pope wasn’t a joke' but a message: 'I’m watching you and I want a domesticated Catholic Church.'"
But then the big surprise: despite all that money and organizing on the hard right, Erdő got solid votes in the first round of voting, and then began losing votes as Prevost (Leo XIV) picked up more votes.

Sordid characters like US Catholic journalists Edward Pentin and Diane Montagna circulated a book trying to sway cardinal electors by telling them how various cardinals stood on issues like welcoming LGBTQ people and women's ordination.
Dolan and Trump were/are joined at the hip, and Trump "publicly backed Dolan for pope and later posted an AI-generated picture of himself dressed as pope."

And that move had big money behind it, especially right-wing American Catholic money. Former head of the US Catholic bishops' conference Timothy Dolan, who is very close to that right-wing Catholic money was helping push right-wing Hungarian cardinal Péter Erdő forward.
Big-money US Catholics and the many, many bishops who are in their pocket have done all they can for years now to buy the Vatican and the papacy.

What happened at the conclave that elected Pope Leo XIV, and why was his election such a surprise? Claire Giangravé reports on a new book by Elisabetta Piqué and Gerard O’Connell that relies on insider scoops to tell the story. There was a strong move among right-wing cardinals to elect a hard-right successor to Francis — to obliterate Francis' legacy.
